Thanks all.  I decided to fool CA.  I changed the ceiling height and did not auto-rebuild all the framing.  Then I added the auto roof.  Problem is, if I make any other changes and auto-rebuild the framing, Ive lost.

@rgardner, I would like to understand you better.  I already built the room using invisible walls.  Are you saying that if I had used invisible railing or dividers instead of the invisible wall, I could have made this happen?  I wish you were in my IT department.  I could simply share my screen and let you show me.

Thanks in advance.

@Solver, I was hoping you were online.  Can you thing of any way I can get a hip roof on this thing?

Attached I have a structure I have drawn.  It is a poolside shelter.  There are 2 rooms.  One with 9' ceilings and the other (bigger one) with lower ceilings.  The bigger "room" has beams the define 3 of the walls.  When I build a roof, CA "sees" 2 different ceiling heights and I get 2 different roof planes.  I noticed that it also plows the rafters right through the beam, so I am thinking CA does not see the beam as a top plate, so to speak.

What I want is a simple hip roof over this thing, but I have to overcome this problem first.

Thanks for the help.
